In order to permit efficient competition, the Navy will utilize the following methodology: Proposals will initially be screened for price and placed in order of price (lowest price to highest price). The Navy will then evaluate the non-price factors of the lowest priced proposal. The Navy will award to the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable proposal. However, if the lowest priced proposal is not found to be technically acceptable, the Navy, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to increase the number of proposals it will review, until the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal. Accordingly, under this methodology, the non-price factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Navy. If discussions are deemed necessary by the

Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both non-price and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.
